ifany interviews are granted it will be
| only to near relatives and in the pres
ence of a jail official. won't say that
every visitor will lie searched, but there
will be no opportunity for any exchange
of anything whatever between the pris
OnerS and outsiders. As for Lingg, l
! don't know that he will be allowed to
| see any one, but have not yet fully de-
cided on that point. HencefOrth
No Baskets of Victuals
OF fruit viii be allowed to be sent from
any of the prisoners friends to them,
and no letters or dispatches will be re-
ceived or sent until they are examined
by jail Official.'
''Will the condemned men be re-
Stricted to prison fare?"
well, no. They can have anything
! they want to eat. From this time on
they are my guests, and will be provided
with anything they desire to eat at my
expense
Where did you send the bombs for
| eXaminatiOn?"
THAT don't care to say. / will tell
| you the result of the investigation to-
morrow"
''lS there any significance in the dis
| tributiOn of the men in the new cells,
| Spies, Fielden and Schwab being al
| lowed TO remain on the second tier and
| the others placed under closer guard?'
None whatever. The new dispOsi-
| ton of the men was the result of acci-
! dent. First come first served
'Will any extra guard be placed over
them?'
"Yes. sir. As 1 said, the time has
! come to take every possible precautiOn.
| They will be strongly guarded night
and day, and special man will watch
| each of the prisoners from this time
| forward
| The Sheriff
walked into the Jail yard and there met
! Capt. Setback, who entered through
the criminal court building. The two
| officials walked into an obscure corner
of the yard and had long consultation.
| What the topic or result of the inter
| view was could not be ascertained, but
soon after the police on guard in the
upper floor were called to attention and
! given a long talk before they were
drilled. Outside of the great sensation
of the day things were quiet around the
| Jail. There was an air of mystery all
morning which was not explained be-
! fore O'Clock. Admission was denied
! TO every one. Reporters were as rigOr-
/ OuSly excluded as any of the public.
! Mrs. Schwab and Mrs. Engel brought
! nN-at. h1 1sl-ntS containing Ainnor fo, +h,
/ loved prisoners and left them at the
door leading to the court yard. Lingg's
| girl. the pretty Ida Mueller, came over
with basket for Lingg. and it. too, was
I left at the door. About this time Sheriff
Maison, accompanied by Chief Deputy
Gleason, left the jail yard by the small
gate, and they were closely pursued by
a small army of reporters. But they
disappeared as mySteriOusly as a pea
under the con mans nutshell. and were
not found until half an hour later, when
they said there was
Nothing of Consequence
except general cleaning up in the jail.
! But the air of mystery which pervaded
| everything could be felt, it was so thick,
and the shCriff's denial was not very re-
assuring. \ reporter caught deputy
who let drop an inadvertent remark. 1t
was nothing of Importance, but the idea
| gained credence that Parsons and Lingg
| had concealed some poison in their cells
and it had been discovered. This the
sheriff subsequently denied, and for a
| long time stuck TO the story that moth
| ing was wrong. At o'clock the re-
pOrters were admitted to the jail and
| found the same air of mystery. None
| of the deputies knew anything, but they
were omnipresent. Fully dozen were
inside the grating in the cell rooms and
| half a dozen paced restlcSsly around the
| office. The baskets brought by the
| friends of the prisoners were not taken
| into the jail. and one brought by Mrs.
| Van /andt in person for August Spies
met with similar fate and was sent
| back to the sender. A messenger boy
brought dispatch for Spies which the
| sheriff opened and read and then sent to
| the prisoner. He wouldn't say what
! the dispatch contained or who it was
! from, but said that it contained nothing
| of a SeditiOuS character. Engel was
| sick all night and was unable to partake
1 of anything but cup of coffee to-day.
| The others were
In Excellent Health,
! however, ana, not receiving any dinner
until , O'Clock, asked eagerly for their
midday meal and showed good appe-
tites when they did receive it. The
| prisoners took the change of quarters
/ quite as a matter of course, and read,
wrote and smoked as though nothing
unusual were going on. The news of
the finding of the bombs spread like
! wildfire. \ universal reaction of the
amnesty sentiment was Immediately
| apparent. Hundreds of citizens who
had signed the petition for clemencv
| regretted their action and wished they
had never appended their names to the
| paper. Twenty of the officers of the
central station were in the squad room
when a reporter entered and told them
the news. Instantly there was storm
of Indignation. The word bombs re-
called 10 them the scenes of the Haymar-
| ket, and there was but one expression Of
comment on the subject. One lieuten-
ant sarcastically remarked: "Well.
they ought to pardon Lingg anyway"
The general opinion around the police
stations was that, whatever might be
the fate Ol the others, Lingg's doom was
sealed, and he would have to go 10 the
| gallOwS. 1t is doubtful if the con-
demned men will longer be allowed the
privilege Of reading the daily papers.

advertising columns might easily be
utilized as q means of communication i'm
cipher between them and outsiders. and
in all probability they will be deprived
Of their principal pleasure.
